Actions made to correct bugs

This page has been written to have a trace about the correction of the packages I have done yet.

Bug #61039 (no desktop entry) and #255086 (FTBFS)

• https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sgt-puzzles/+bug/61039

• https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sgt-puzzles/+bug/255086

• Try to compile current sgt-puzzles (sudo pbuilder build sgt-puzzles_7983-1.dsc) => FTBFS (because of new flags used in intrepid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags)

• Fill a bug and put it in progress, assigned to me. #255085
• Begin to work on the FTBFS first, seing that quilt was used in this package

  • check if gtk.c (the faulting file ) is already used in a patch : grep gtk.c debian/patches/*

  • found in 202_online-help.diff, 203_follow-fd.o-clipboards-spec.diff, 304_combine-binaries.diff
  • As no previous patch seems to be relevant, I applied them with quilt and create a new one

export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
quilt push 202_online-help.diff
quilt push 203_follow-fd.o-clipboards-spec.diff
quilt push 304_combine-binaries.diff (but error has weren't is the series file)
quilt new 306_fix-ftbfs-with-fortify-source-2.diff
quilt add gtk.c
vim gtk.c
quilt refresh
quilt pop -a

• echo "306_fix-ftbfs-with-fortify-source-2.diff" >> debian/patches/series

• Changed original maintainer (see below)

• Normally, the target to use is install, but here the package is built differently and I have to put it in binary-arch.

  • - Here, I will : do some cp debian/*.desktop $dest or install. dh_fixperms will automatically put the right permission files to the .desktop files, so no need to bother about it in install

'''#245633: wrong text for a .desktop file''' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-gtk/+bug/245633, add also some french translation to it and remove deprecated/wrong key in the .desktop

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DidierRoche/MOTU/bugsaction?action=edit

• Place the bug status to "in progress" and assigned to me
• Get the source and had a look at it.

As the file to correct is at the root of the source, I had to patch the package.

• The original maintainer was a Debian one, so I changed the debian/control file:

Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>
XSBC-Original-Maintainer: ...

• used dpatch (as the original maintainer use it) and runned dpatch-edit-patch 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch

  • - vim the right file and change the content of it. Then exit 0 - vim 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch to change the first lines (DP field to give a description of the patch)

(if multiple lines add ## DP: at the begining of each line)

• - add 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch to debian/patches/00list

• run dch -i to update the debian/changelog file and added (LP: #245633)

bzr-gtk (0.94.0-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * add 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch to fix name, add french translation and
    remove some deprecated keys in olive-gtk.desktop (LP: #245633)

• rebuild the source package with debuild -S (for new diff.gz and .dsc file)

• Finally: debdiff bzr-gtk_0.94.0-1.dsc bzr-gtk_0.94.0-1ubuntu1.dsc > debdiff

• build the package for a try: sudo pbuilder build bzr-gtk_0.94.0-1ubuntu1.dsc

  • - the .deb is in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ - install in a VM

• run desktop-file-validate olive-gtk.desktop to validate the desktop file

• test the debdiff by patch -p1 < debdiff

• Attach the debdiff to the bug report, place it back to "confirmed" status and assigned to nobody, subscribe u-u-s

• Added tags intrepid origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch (cf https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Debian/Usertagging)

• Send a mail to upstream
